With their best player out for the year. They went winless in the postponed 2020 season. They better pay the man

Why can't Rutgers just be normal?
Yhis is like the 5th or 6th abuse/inappropriate behavior from a Rutgers coach or administrator in like the last decade

A bigger Big Ten Conference means a bigger Big Ten Baseball Tournament.
A report from D1Baseball's Patrick Ebert indicates the tournament will expand to 12 teams in 2025. That expansion will also come with a change of format.
The previous model, with eight qualifying teams, operated as two, four-team double-elimination brackets. The winners of each bracket played a winner-take-all final.
The new format would remove the bracket until the semifinals, while still guaranteeing every qualifying team two games. The 12 teams will be split into four pods of three teams. Winners of each pod will advance to a single-elimination bracket.
The Big Ten Baseball Tournament is slated to remain in Omaha at least through the 2027 season. Charles Schwab Field, previously TD Ameritrade Park, has hosted the tournament every year since 2018, except for the canceled COVID-19 season. Omaha also has hosted the event in 2014 and 2016.

Wisconsin will never make the baseball tourney.

Is this OSUs actual soccer field? No bleachers, and it looks like someone freehand drew the midfield logo
-
The soccer teams play in Jesse Owens stadium

who cares???

I mean they are #1 in the country, and this is the non revenue sports thread?
-
I had to look it up - I've been to a soccer game so I know they have lots of seats. But I think they are only on one side and the camera always shoots from the seated side. The view from the other side.

There's stands on both sides.

That's why I'm guessing they were playing elsewhere last night. It also looked like someone painted the logo, freehand, by memory, 5 minutes before the game

Hockey at 4-0 in Big Ten play with back to back sweeps of Notre Dame and Ohio State. Womens soccer advances and only has 2 losses all season. They also have the #1 tennis player in the nation
I'm only half joking by suggesting that MSU could be elite in a few non-revenue sports, by shifting some of the NIL we pay just to keep our head above water in the revenue sports. And the checks from the tv deals come either way

MSU pulls off the sweep of #1 Minnesota in Minneapolis. Probably headed back to #1 after falling out with a split in Madison last weekend.
The thought of MSU being #1 in the nation, coming off a 3-1 stretch on the road against the old WCHA teams is pretty unthinkable considering how bad they had been. They hadn't won a conference championship in 23 years, and hadn't made the tournament in 12

MSU overcomes the refs letting Iowa play a fouled out player and a phantom lane violation to get to 10-0 in WBB

The Nebraska men’s gymnastics team heads into the 2025 season ranked No. 4 in the College Gymnastics Association preseason coaches poll.
Stanford leads the poll, ranked No.1 for the 2025 season as the defending NCAA Champions.
Big Ten foe Michigan is ranked second, Oklahoma is third and Nebraska is fourth. Illinois rounds out the top five.
-
#2 MSU, playing without their captain, up 8-3 on #4 Minnesota.
I said a few years ago that MSU should drop hockey, instead they are now investing more into the sport than Minnesota

Selection show?
Does the committee get protection from the shooters they leave out?

Minnesota and Michigan both upset in the first round of the BTT (hockey). surprising because not only is it played on the home ice, but the first round is best of 3.
PSU remains the hottest team in the league down the stretch. Swept Michigan, now goes to Columbus

I didn't realize how much MSU had wandered in the wilderness before the current coach.
UW is currently a mess, which is just irksome given the tradition. UW women are the favorite, but single elimination hockey is always tough.

3 bad coaching hires in a row will do that

Comely was considered bad?

Comely was considered bad?
He had one foot out the retirement door. Mason hired him as a friend. He slashed the recruiting budget and redistributed it to himself and his assistants.
He took a program that had finished 1st or 2nd in the CCHA 5 straight years, and hadn't finished lower than 3rd in a decade, and slowly drained the talent to the point that they finished dead last the year he was fired. They hadn't missed the tourney in a decade, and he immediately missed it his first year, and missed it 5 times in 9 years. He won a national title, which bought him some time, but that was in a year where they were the last team into the field, and pulled 4 straight upsets.
I think at one time he was a good coach, and his Xs and Os were still fine, but he was done with everything else the goes along with the job. The talent began fading quickly, as did fan interest. When I arrived in 2003, hockey was as hot a ticket as basketball. You could only get partial season ticket plans. By my senior year they were begging students to show up.
Anastos was an "outside the box" hire that made no sense. He had been a head coach 25 years earlier, for 2 years, at an NAIA school, and had otherwise been a conference administrator.
The Danton Cole/Adam Nightingale thing is weird. I loved the Cole hire, and it just didn't work. But then Adam Nightingale was almost the exact same hire, and it's gone great. Cole was an MSU alum, who had D1 head coaching experience, and came over after 7 years as the head coach of the USNDP. Nightingale was an MSU alum, with no head coaching experience, who came over after 2 years as the head coach of the USNDP. It just kind of shows how coach hires are always still a bit of a crap shoot

The team recently qualified for their 4th straight National 7s Collegiate Rugby Championships held in Washington D.C. The Huskers have finished as high as 2nd place in recent seasons but are hoping this year to bring home a championship.
